    I recall a Peter Stiff book "taming the landmine" migt be of value!
    I am studying an awesome brand of leg fighting which was inspired by dung beetles and I think my brand of Kraft Manure is superior to all other styles ever invented. Furthermore I challenge all other manurists to a rolling contest where we shall establish whose manure ball is the biggest! I shall call it Honest Kraft Manure and declare it superior to all other brands of manure and will tell you that I have claimed the lineage directly to Imshi the great Dragon Kru Master Beetler who invented manuring, by gathering all manure from different animals together and making it work as the worlds most effective fertilizer. I proved myself by being members of not one but three super elite special gardening departments who were responsible for spreading manure to combat weed infestations!

    Hi Guys

    I read about a point 22 automatic rifle an AR designated on perhaps an AR-10 that the SAS use to use and it had such a high rate of fire they would play around and cut down telephone poles with it. Would anyone know about this weapon or have a photo of it?

    Apparently some AM180 automatic .22lr's were used during that war, alhough I cannot find any documented proof on it.
    Can anyone confirm?

    Does anybody know if the M16 in any variant has ever been officially or even unofficially used in Southern Africa / RSA?

    I recall a training video of the STF where one operator used an M16.

    I understand that the Rhodie SAS used some M16s.

    There are some M16s/203s floating around in SA service too.

    I fondled an M16 in the Recces' tent at the Rand Easter show earlier this year.

    Thanks guys, I will try to get some sources. In the meantime, I came across this:

    There was an unofficial US presence and the marines stationed there had M16's.

    But how much they worked I don't know.

    Thanks Stefan.

    There was a book that was published about 5 years ago or so, if I'm correct, I think it was called "The SAS in Rhodesia"

    Does anybody perhaps know where I can get hold of this book?
